Morals, Manners and God By Rev. W. Whitman V- "The Titanic" One of the major news 'stories to surface in the past couple ofweks has been the sighting and exploring of the great ship which went down some 73 years ago. ;The Titanic was the largest and most magnificent magnificent ocean liner of its day. On its maiden voyage back in April 1912, she struck an iceberg and sank beneath the surface of the cold Atlantic, Atlantic, with the loss of over 1,500 lives. News of the disaster sent shock waves rippling around the world as it was confirmed that the "impossible" "impossible" had taken place. She was called the "unsink- Students from the studio of Kathy Malcolm, A., M.U.S.- P.A.E.D., Janetville, received these standings in piano exams conducted by the Western Western Ontario and Royal Conservatory Conservatory of Music, February Session, 1985.

The Titanic was a giant - 882.5 feet in length; some 92.5 feet wide and towering some 175 feet from the surface surface of the water. Watertight Watertight compartments were supposed to keep the ship afloat even if two of them were flooded. She was a floating hotel with the most luxurious appointments and furnishings.

Soon after, the "Californian" operator closed down for the night and so, didn't hear the call for help. At almost midnight the Titanic struck an iceberg which tore a 300 foot gash in the starboard side. Many of the passengers would not believe the incident incident was serious, so they wouldn't get into the lifeboats. Some boats were lowered without being fully loaded. At about 2:20 a.m., just 2 hours and-40 minutes from the time the great ship struck the iceberg she disappeared disappeared beneath the surface. surface. Another ship, the "Carpathia" from 58 miles away, responded and was able to rescue about 700 survivors. Courts of inquiries from both sides of the Atlantic brought recommendations which would prevent any future similar disasters, but it was too late for the "un- sinkable" Titanic and the 1,500 souls who perished. Listen friend; there is a spiritual parallel here. Each of us is like a ship on the sea of life. God sends out many warnings to us such as: "Repent for tne kingdom of heaven is at hand". "For in such an hour as you think not the son of man is coming", coming", "seek ye the Lord while He may be found"; yet many are unconcerned, having been lulled into a false security by our so called "affluent age". To find the way out of your "sinking ship" you should read and heed John's gospel, gospel, chapter 3.
